    Cheers,

    Surely it is hard to go wrong with rental properties bought for under £100k?

    Where is seen as best buy-to-let investment options for say £80-100k at the minute?

    except if they were 30k a few years ago..... and the rental income doesn't cover the interest on the mortgage.

    problem is when you sell it, who will buy it from you at 100k?

    Like £100k for this back-to-back s***hole

    When the rent would be £350/month

    You need to learn about yield and get a business plan and what these places cost a few years ago, and work out who's going to buy the thing off you when you sell.

    Saying you can't go wrong with a 'mere' £100k seems incredible to me. Here, give me your £100k, you can't go wrong, I'll sell you a caravan.
    My policies are based not on some economics theory, but on things I and millions like me were brought up with: an honest day's work for an honest day's pay; live within your means; put by a nest egg for a rainy day; pay your bills on time; support the police - Margaret Thatcher.
